Mini Couture

I was approached last week by Brittany from Sweet Plume http://sweetplume.etsy.com/. She is already working on her Halloween outfits and honored me by asking if I could make her a hair piece for her collection!! I was beyond excited! Especially when she asked for something a little over the top (get it? Top....ok lame joke) lol!! So I immediately thought of a miniature top hat!! I think with the movie Alice in Wonderland just out I've been thinking a lot of those adorable hats!!:) I've been seeing them all over etsy and wanted to give it a go. Here are some of the pics of Paris-Noel modeling my latest creation! I can't wait to see it with Brittany's outfit!!:) Hope everyone is having a marvelous day!!

Also, just wanted your opinions....should I start making these for my etsy shop? These would make fabulous photo props!!:) Just wanted to get some feedback before I go hog wild making some and none sell.....

Prencie!! This is so super cute!! Love this one!! My hats just arrived from Leperqueen, and I am having so much fun with them. Aren't they just fun to play with? Love Alice in Wonderland & that is why we bought ours. I was seeing them on Etsy- some for outrageous prices, and my sister & I decided to try making our own for the girls. At less than $1.50 a hat, if we mess one up, we can just decorate another. :)

Thank you ladies!!:) Yes, Mande, I've seen some hats for $400 up there!??!?!?! Granted they're hand made with some super fabulous fabric but $400!!!!! I also like the ones with the lifted rims:) I would love to make one of those!!:)
